The corporate office of IT firm, Antworks in Chennai makes for an inspiring environment for its employees, who spend hours tinkering with technical data behind their computer screens. Working on a principle of zoning, the 8,500 sq. ft. open-plan office is a seamless blend of naturally lit open and semi-open spaces.

Staff pool in an open-plan

An open pool of workstations allows for visual connectivity, free-flowing exchange of ideas and unhindered interaction due to proximity of team members, as do the semi-open meeting rooms with glass panels.

There is no shortage of creative wiggle room in this office, thanks to informal spaces positioned away from work zones like the rustic brick-clad pantry that fosters communication. The Rust-Oleum coated walls of the adjacent breakout area serve as a canvas for employees to doodle and brainstorm.
